Achieved from a quest within Blackrock Spire, Seal of Ascension. Not only does this Ring give u some beneficial resists, but it serves as a key to Upper Blackrock Spire. Along with this you can also use the ring to fully heal your party once (per encounter) during the Rend encounter in UBRS.

Комментарий от Vexed99

This is the ring that allows passage into Upper Blackrock spire, via the door near the entrance of the instance.

To achieve this ring you must first venture into Lower Blackrock Spire and retrieve 4 items.

Once you achieve all those items you must find Vaelan( who is actually Vaelastrasz the Corrupt in human form) to complete the first part of the quest. Vaelen is near the beginning, just before the first wooden bridge. There's a long stretch of rubble to the left, it looks pretty benign and unimportant, but it's actually a ramp. It's pretty dark and hard to see where you're going, but if you go up the ramp you can hop up onto a platform where Vaelen is. He looks like an orc initially but he turns into a human when you get near him.

He'll give you a quest then to kill Emberstrife, which is a dragon located in a cave at the very central southern area of Duskwallow Marsh. Bring a party with you!.

t took me a few tries too

Here is what I did with my group:

First, use the unforged seal in the water just out of aggro range of the dragon in his cave.

This will create an unforged seal object that hovers over the ground. (The object will remain for around 5 minutes if nothing is done to it before it vaporizes.)

Then agro the dragon and drag him down to where you cast the unforged seal on the ground.

Have your party beat the crap out of him until he is near dead. He has to be at about 1/8th of his health left.

Once you get him down to about 1/8th health left, start trying to use the mind control orb on him. He gives no outward signs that he is ready to be mind controled so you just have to keep trying until the control takes. Just select the dragon and keep right clicking the orb until you gain control of him.

Once you gain control, it will bring up a pet control bar just above your normal tool bar.

The first spell on the bar (looks like an orange block with a black design on it) is the spell you want to use.

Now that you have control of him and he is over the seal that you cast on the floor, click the spell.

After you make him cast his fire/forging spell, release control and have your party finish him off.

The unforged seal that you initially cast on the floor should now turn into the forged seal. Loot the forged seal out of the unforged seal object that you initially cast on the ground.

If you happen to be killed after you make him cast his forging spell but before you can loot the object, the forged seal object will remain long enough that you can run back from the grave yard and it will still be there.

The mind control will generate some mad agro so don't be suprised if you get waxed right after you release control hehe.

Afterwhich you bring the forged Seal of Ascension back to Vaelan and you recieve your Seal of Ascension.

Good Luck!

Really good key to have.Im opening on Sunstrider UBRS for 10-25g, and i hang alot in IF so i open it 3-6 times a day.

easy quest, easy gold :)

Some corrections: Vaelan is *not* Vaelastrasz the Corrupt. Vaelastrasz the Corrupt is Vaelastrasz after Nefarian gets done with him and leaves him crippled (yet still very powerful) in the chamber just beyond Razorgore. Point here is that Vaelastrasz isn't always corrupt... he just bites off a bit more than he can chew with Nefarian. The fight with Emberstrife is an easy one now post-TBC, and can easily be duoed, if not soloed with a properly geared character.

And turning in the final quest item to Vaelan requires that you have another Unadorned Seal of Ascension on you when you talk with him, or he won't talk with you at all.

I can't stress this point enough:

"And turning in the final quest item to Vaelan requires that you have another Unadorned Seal of Ascension when you talk with him, or he won't talk with you at all."

As for emberstrife... I believe he emotes something along the lines of "Emberstrife's will falters" at which point you can use the orb to control him. It's generally around 15% or so. He is fearable, so a 70 shadow priest or warlock can solo him with ease.

This ring itself has a hidden use feature. During the end of the UBRS event when you fight Rend, using the ring will provide a nice heal to the party and summon Vael to help. It's definately a nice touch.

Correct. I completed this entire quest line in about 2 hours on my 70 hunter. Finally, I have the key for an instance I'll probably never run again!

Комментарий от Nordri

Just a warning, you can't get this item again from Vaelan if you planned to destroy it for bag space.

Комментарий от Boshnak

It's weird.. you don't need to equip this to open the door to UBRS, but when you do equip it the ring has a 30 second cooldown..

Комментарий от 2OfDiamonds

let me be the first to GRATS you!

just got it myself too! :D

Комментарий от spikedman

now with the new Jenkins title achievment, getting thsi is VERY worthwhile. i make 50g/opening and i just stand outside UBRS.

This quest doesnt seem to be bugged anymore. I went through and got the seal, and the 3 gems before actually accepting the quest. he then took them and gave me the quest to kill the dragon. Easy stuff.

Комментарий от Benedict

One warning for Warlocks

I had to do this a few times because I couldn't control him when I had my felguard out. " You already control a creature"

After respawn I sacrificed the demon and it worked ok, but I still failed because the stupid dragon died from my dots before I figured out what I had to do..

3rd try it worked :)

Комментарий от NorfolkDumpling

Has this item changed? I cannot remember the "Use - Summon Vaelastrasz".

Who is Vaelastrasz?

Комментарий от Wander

Is it possible to reacquire this key if you trash/sell/DE it (whether it can be or not) short of GM intervention?

Комментарий от GannHalon

note that this does not work outside of BRS :(

Комментарий от LameMuslim

I have just completed this quest chain and as of 3.0.3 or 12/19/2008, you do _not_ need another Unadorned Seal of Ascension when you go to turn in the final Seal of Ascension quest. Vaelan mind probes you, turns friendly and says something to the effect of "Welcome back, <Class>". Then, if you have the Forged Seal of Ascension the yellow "?" will appear and you can get your quest-complete.

Комментарий от Pennymandude

With changes to instances/summoning bosses in 3.0.8, this item is no longer needed to enter UBRS.However, this is still obtainable,and with updated stats since the +10 fire/nature/frost resistances are relatively useless now,to some low stats, but it's actually a good ring for it's level considering the first outland rings you get wouldn't replace it (if you manage to get it before level 58).Changed to:

Комментарий от Carimm

I did UBRS today for the achievements and I had to do the quest to get the ring to get in.

Комментарий от Pennymandude

It is not current, 3.0.8 is still on the PTR, next patch you will no longer need it.

Комментарий от Sunwolf

Please clarify for those of us slow out here (me!)You will no longer need the Seal to get into UBRS with the next patch?

Комментарий от Raindance

Attempted to go to UBRS for the Jenkins title. Found I needed the Seal. Do the quests, as per instructions (77 DK found it a cake walk and interesting to saunter through). YOU WILL NEED THE SEAL. Once you've the seal, the braziers on each side of the door leading to UBRS light up and the door opens. You do not need to have the Seal on, just having it in your bags is enough.

Before hand the door is unselectable, unpickable and unexplodable. Thought I'd clarify the matter for peeps.

Комментарий от Physics

As of the most recent patch (3.0.8) it would seem this is NO LONGER REQUIRED for entry to UBRS. Just visited today and the door stood open when I arrived with key in hand. Reset the instance to make sure and it was open again by default.

Комментарий от Sethai

As of patch 3.0.8, the above stats are correct. Screenshot has been submitted.

The weird thing is that even before i had this ring, the door to UBRS was open to me. Does it not need to have the ring now to get into UBRS anymore?

Комментарий от danroe

"Draconic runes appear and disappear along the inner band."

This is a reference to LoTR, where The Master Ring has elfic runes appearing and disappearing when Frodo tries to read them.

Комментарий от Hateires

no, just... no

Комментарий от Sibre

I was unable to complete this quest as an 80 warlock. Every time I'd take control of Emberstrife, the Black Flames ability I need to use is immediately placed on cooldown - a cooldown that is unfortunately just slightly longer than the duration of the mind control. I tried several times, sometimes mind controlling him more than once without resetting and even tried closing the game and restarting, but still, every time, that ability would be placed on cooldown. I've now read on WoWWiki that it's a known bug if somebody fails to kill Emberstrife after forging the seal, and the workaround is to kill him and let him respawn before mind controlling again. But it's now too late: I'm out of charges on my orb item. So now I have to abandon and start all over. Sigh...

Комментарий от Darkcaporal

Spoke with a GM today, and he confirmed to me that YOU STILL NEED this ring to get the door opened.

Комментарий от Scoris

Not true, I did UBRS a few days ago before doing LBRS and the quest chain to get this item. You just need to clear all the side rooms before the second door. First door is always open.

Комментарий от berendje

20-4-2009,Confirmed. The door to UBRS was simply open. No need for a key these days, it seems. People who contradict this are probably referring to the second door and possibly never did a vanilla UBRS in their life. People who did would remember that boring waits at the UBRS door because nobody had the key to actually enter UBRS. :P

Am I the only one who thinks a little of LOTR with this item? Perhaps it's a bit farfetched, but it is a ring, and there are runes that race across the inner band, so... I dunno, maybe?

Комментарий от Blackriver

"Call Of Vaelastrasz", the on-use ability on this ring, is only usable during the coliseum event with Warchief Rend Blackhand at the end inside of Upper Blackrock Spire and is only available every 3 minutes. It summons Vaelan (Vaelastrasz The Red) in human form who will heal the group for 5k and then do one of a few things: if you are fighting the random packs of trash during the event, he will heal the user for 91k (yes, 91k). If you are fighting Gyth, he will cast Chromatic Protection: Fire, Frost, or Nature on the user. If you summon him while fighting Warchief Rend Blackhand, he is summoned in dragon form and will help you battle the false Warchief. It is only usable during the coliseum event with Warchief Rend Blackhand at the end inside of Upper Blackrock Spire and is only available every 3 minutes.

Edited to add various effects of the ring after more extensive testing.

Комментарий от abennett

It still has giggle-value when taking newbies into UBRS. Mid-Rend fight, just summon Vaelan and listen to the "WTF!" reaction from your fellow adveurers. :)

Комментарий от BluHaze

New players who sign up for the random LFD and end up in Blackrock Spire usually have absolutely no idea where they're going, and it's human nature to want to see what's behind "Door #1".

Unfortunately they don't realize that Door #1 leads directly to the content that's tuned for twice as many people who are currently in the group, then wonder why they end up getting splatted every single time on the first pull after the Rend encounter..

Комментарий от TheDrWhat

Note: The Ring has a 3 minute cooldown.

Комментарий от davepoobond

does this have any use anymore? i have it in my bank, and you can use the ring outside of BRD, but nothing seems to happen.

i guess it means its useless.

Комментарий от ZaxGreia

As of Cataclysm, you can't get 10 people in anymore - it's a true 5-man dungeon.

Комментарий от Guy19

From my experience it seems you must kill all mobs near the door for it to open. It was sealed shut for me, but after I cleared the mobs in the adjoining rooms I came back to find it open as a canyon! :D

Edit: am I wrong? This has been my experience.

Комментарий от forgottenring

The ring still does work if you were persistent enough to get it before the quests were deleted. The event is not as tough as it used to be (even at level) so it's little more than a fun easter egg type thing to bust out to show newer players or for nostalgia purposes. It's a shame the game doesn't have more of these quest flavor items to help in dungeons or raids.

Комментарий от Snagrat

I still have this and I equpied it on my 85 mage, cast it and nothing happened? Is it supposed to summon something now? I remember it used to be a key

Комментарий от Nocked

Back in vanilla I think everyone vendored this ring, or very few people did the work to get it. Whenever I used it during the Rend fight in UBRS pug groups would freak out when Vael shows up not knowing what was going on. It was hilarity every run back when UBRS was the only raid (15 man if I recall). I also enjoyed having people pay me to open the gate to UBRS.

Комментарий от majordomo

This ring doesn't work in the revamped or new Upper Blackrock Spire, I used during the add portion of the arena battle, and I used it when I was fighting the main boss, it's main purpose now is to be a memento of the past. Or you can brag to your friends that you have it.

Комментарий от strogg

This does not appear to work in the 90 version of UBRS. It let me 'use' it, but Vael didn't appear.

Комментарий от Blackbeardswe

The on use has now been removed entirely =/ there goes another one....
